The challenge

The energy deficit and dependence on fossil fuels drove the Dominican Republic to step up its commitment to clean energy. DOMINION took on the task of building the photovoltaic plant in this Caribbean country, with an offer that included everything from the design and construction of the plant to its operation and subsequent maintenance. 

DOMINION's +

From the begining in the last months of 2020, we have been in charge of the development and start-up of the park with a contracted power of 50MW that will inject more than 130 million Kwh into the country's power network and will avoid the emission of more than 60,000 tons of CO2 per year. For the construction, which has had an investment of 93M USD, a total of 147,870 solar panels were used.

Results

The project helps Dominican Republic to reach its goal until 2025, the year in which they expect 25% of the electricity consumed by the country to come from renewable energies, and has generated more than 500 direct jobs in the region.

This park comes after one of our major projects in the country: the construction of Mata de Palma in 2019, the largest park on the island to that date with a capacity of 65 MW and 200,694 solar panels distributed over an area of ​​75 hectares.
